Bottom Drains for Ponds

Bottom drains are generally recommended for larger Koi ponds and goldfish ponds over 2,000 gallons. Bottom drains play a crucial role in the pond by the removal of Koi and goldfish excrement and other harmful organic buildup. A bottom drain promotes maximum pond recirculation and helps maintain a clean floor of your pond.

The pond bottom drain uses gravity to remove waste and organic materials. A common misconception and fear surrounding the implementation of a bottom drain is fear of leaking, however if installed properly the likelihood is very, very small. Remember a bottom drain is an integral and essential part of pond health and water clarity.
